    Surelly it’s at minimum a post about shit.

    My thought is that it’s devoid of nuance (part of what makes it funny) so therefore it’s shitty?

      It’s designed to piss of pro-AI folks. The trolling is what makes it a shitpost.

  Yall kidding? ‘Money for criminals’ was definitely the best boost for disenfranchised people, although not all of that had settled in equal hands.

  Honestly the illegal cab company has been the most useful for me. Sometimes my car breaks down.

  Mind you, the best illegal service I ever used was Dream market. Very convenient for buying acid and weed.

    I agree. Set prices are a game changer especially if you are visiting in another country. Drivers are less likely to rip off tourists and communication is a lot better.

    years ago, a big boss of an evil hotel company I worked was doing a AMA and got asked “where do we draw the line on ethics?”. His answer was “at the end of the day, if you don’t feel comfortable telling your mother what you did today, then don’t do it” I loved this answer and used this very often.

    Then a few months later, he directly made us work on the dirtiest geopricing / yelding features I ever saw. I guess the real question to ask during that day was “where do your mother draw the line on ethics?”

      That’s where he draws the line on ethics… for everyone else.

      maybe his mother died?

      You should have called his mother and explained it to her and asked if she agreed?

  airbnb was cool, i had fond memories of meeting interesting new people this way. then it enshittified and is now generally worse than hotels every time.

  so there is no longer a marketplace where you can get the house sharing experience, which is sad.

  I love how you all still screech over Airbnb even after all the data has shown they aren’t raising your mortgage and that bull crap.

  I love Airbnb and Uber Lyft. The taxi industry DESERVED a good fucking. 90% of them scumbags who couldn’t show up on time and were actively trying to rip you off. Scumbag class and I’m happy Uber forced some accountability in the ride services sector. It’s a billion times better and service has improved GREATLY in the states.

    Uber is horribly exploitative of their drivers.

    And AirBNB is hated because it increases the landlord class.

      While none of these are definitive I think they paint a pretty decent picture that they are pros and cons. The rising price of mortgages are conflated with renovations and economic growth. This growth tends to be in local growth, not corporations. With home values being tied to value there are some expected cons to this as well. 

      It’s a complex model and instead of making them the Boogeyman we should understand the positive and negatives.

    I don’t disagree that the taxi industry needed a good shaking, and Uber/Lyft have brought a lot of convenience and features to the party compared to a traditional taxi service, but that doesn’t automatically make Uber the good guys in the equation.
